Jim's had a good day - Shula's not nagged him once! Jim's mood soon changes when Alistair suggests it's time he went home. Jim points out that's not possible until his leg is fully healed but sounds genuinely hurt when he realises Alistair means it, even more so when Alistair insists he goes this weekend. Alistair and Shula are relieved Jim's actually going. Alistair knows he'll be ok back home but, hearing how difficult it was, Shula almost starts to feel sorry for Jim. Alistair just wishes he'd had the courage to do this weeks ago.

Kathy's had to work late, and bumps into Tony as she picks Jamie up from The Bull. Kathy is taken aback as she catches sight of Taylor. Tony looks round but Taylor's gone in a flash, and Kathy manically drives off in a panic. Kathy tells Kenton that this time she knows she really has seen Taylor. Kenton thinks he may have done Kathy a favour. There's no way he can get back to Gloucester before his curfew, so Taylor's breaking his bail conditions. If they call the police, he'll be re-arrested and then Kathy won't have to worry any more.
